I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I just wanted to pop in with a few shots of some of the spring colors we’ve added in our kitchen and family room. I know it’s still winter, but I think it’s safe to say we are all longing for spring so even though the weather isn’t cooperating yet I figured it would be nice to cheer things up a bit in the house.

Although this room still isn’t completely finished (we still need a rug and more artwork on the walls and above the bed) we have made quite a bit of progress in here over the last few weeks. One of the things we were most excited about when we found this house last summer was that it had four bedrooms.

Back at the end of last year Ballard Designs contacted us about sending us some of their new bedding to design a room around and being featured on their blog. I cannot tell you how thrilled and honored I was. I am so in love with the bedding that I just placed an order for my bedding for our master bedroom.

I finally took photos of the hallway upstairs. We finished painting it back in the fall (maybe late October?) and I just sadly took pictures last week. I was kind of holding off because I was waiting to find a bookshelf type piece for the top of the stairs but at this point am giving up on waiting on that.

We have another new chalkboard design with the first two lines of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “How Do I Love Thee?” poem available in our shop! We have it available in two options – one has the word love in pink:

and all the text in white

 

I also wanted to introduce our newest sponsor, 11 Magnolia Lane!

 

One of the items we get asked about if it made the move and where it went is the wire candle chandelier that was above our dining room table in our last house. Well, yes, it did indeed make the move and has been sitting out on our porch in a corner for the last six months.
